Ian Yeh
3×3 · top 1.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017YEHI01
Ian Yeh has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.03, set at Leap to Barrie 2020, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 135th in Canada. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since June 2017, he has put 445 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.81 in June 2017 to 7.03, a 49% improvement. Ian has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
